Just when Private I thinks all is calm-now that he's cracked the case of 7 Ate 9-Question Mark storms into the office.

Mark is worried. All the uppercase letters are M-I-S-S-I-N-G! But that's absurd. This is CAPITAL City!

Private I is the last letter standing. Will he solve his BIGGEST mystery yet, the UPPER CASE, before it's too late?!

Filled with the same humor, wit, and quirkiness of the hit 7 Ate 9: The Untold Story, comes another laugh-out-loud whodunit.

REVIEW

*I received a free copy of this book which I voluntarily chose to write an honest review for.

This book is way too cute for its own good! We bright colorful illustrations we are taken along on the case of missing uppercase letters. The letter I is investigating with lots of help from punctuation and more. A great story that introduces all types of grammar goodies that kids may not even know about. Would be fun for an age appropriate story time or just a fun read. I really liked it so I give it 5/5 stars.

Her last name rhymes with “bazaar”—you can listen to Tara pronounce her name on TeachingBooks.net. She’s not Tara Laser-beam (although that would be awesome).
